Cafemoticons in the South

Last Sunday I visited Cafemoticons and was so inspired chatting with the owner. He shared how he started this business and being new in this field, they have grown so fast. They now have 2 company owned branches and 2 franchisees. He is very hands-on; He even takes charge of the interior design not just of his own cafe but also the franchisees’ because he said he wanted to have his personal touch in every Cafemoticons branch. As his business grows, he started having his own people to handle the Human Resources, recruitment, training, communications, and others. He has now able to delegate well his work load little by little. 

What I love more about him is despite of his busy schedule he still manage not to forget serving in church. Being able to manage priorities is very important just like not forgetting your source of everything on the top list.

His Cafemoticons dawned from the observation of in-demand use of emotions in our daily digital communications which he is sure will catch his target customers -the Millennials, that’s why He named it "Cafemoticons" and even choose to have a young charming 19 year old ambassador for their additional marketing strategy. 

The look of his Cafe is very highschool. I am sure that Cafemoticons is a favorite hangout of middle school students and also families. If you want to feel young, then go and visit their cafe with your special someone, ha ha. I love the inscription in the wall “BLESSED” and other awesome positive words that the generation today needs to be reminded of. There’s a section where you can post what you are feeling at the moment. You can even choose an apron with emoticons, choose a wall background, then strike your most instagramable pose. So cute! Feels young to be surrounded with emoticons stuffs like pillow, coin bank on the tables, counter displays and others. Wow! Ambiance is amazing!

The food. They have good presentation. And very homey tasteful dishes. My most favorite is their spicy chicken breast cooked in perfect texture, comes with well cooked rice. I will definitely comeback for this. They have unli pasta unli chicken promo. I tried different pasta, different tasteful chicken, their burger, fries , cooler and bunch of cute desert with chocolate dips. Price is worth the taste and the serving sizes.. Customer service was excellent. Their server is very courteous, and looks presentable. 

So what are you waiting for, come and visit Cafemoticons to have a taste of their best seller , and you will surely bring home a beautiful smile after .

Congratulations to Paolo and looking forward to see more of your branches and franchisee popping up. See you in your next Anniversary celebration!

Camayan Beach Resort Summercapades

This trip was just so perfect as we all feel the heat of summer. We headed to Olongapo to have that summer escapade in Camayan Beach Resort. It took us 5 hours just to be there and as we got off our shuttle, the stunning beauty of the ocean struck me and calms me as well from that very long travel time. As we entered their reception - Bar area, they welcomed us with coolers to quench our thirst and some beautiful presentation of finger food appetizers that teased our taste buds. Everything tasted so refreshing!

There I met Jaebi - their Digital Marketing Supervisor, their Chef and the resort's very warm and high spirited staff. They assisted us in their Reef Cafe Bar and Restaurant Function Room where they prepared their special mouth-watering dishes for our lunch which they presented beautifully. As they had served us, our eyes and tummy started to crave for even more - plated seafood, Lechon Kawali, Pakbet, Kare Kare and more. We can't help but take more pictures. As we tried each one by one, everything was perfectly delicious, distinctly tasteful specially their Kare Kare - this is the best ever, it has a unique taste that kicks and stirs up my cravings. The taste lingers my taste buds that gives awesomely perfect gastronomic experience. Awesome Chef!

Then after our lunch, it’s our time to check in. The room is elegantly spacious, very “Pinoy”, with two queen size beds, wash area, closet , flat screen TV , refrigerator, very classy room motif. We stayed here for a while to settle down from a very long travel time . And before we have our dinner, we took a quick deep in their captivating cozy poolside. It feels good because the water is warm enough to ease our very tired body. At 7pm, we all went to the Reef by the beach to have that dreamy buffet by candle light - another set of extremely delicious dishes. We had our dinner with that mesmerizing feeling as the waves dance with the cool breeze that gives a feeling of embrace and a kiss from a sweet blowing tickling wind. This is so amazing! Getting engaged with that kind of feeling at that moment, how I wished my family was with!  

Its time to pamper my back as I laid down on their bed - a feeling of clouds on my head with their soft pillows, warmth from the soft linen comforter that gave me a sweet deep sleep. As the morning dawned, we were all excited to be greeted by the sunrise and the breath taking ocean mountain view. A morning walk in their fine sand tickled my feet and a quick deep in the beach where waves were just calm and quite, gave me the energy I needed for the day. 

Then it was time for my breakfast while seated overviewing the ocean mountain , I enjoyed my "super sarap" na breakfast - boneless bangus with garlic rice and fresh salad with fruits! 

On our way to our Ocean Adventure , we had flower necklace, feeling “Hawaian”. The extreme heat of the sun didn't stop us from enjoying this summercapades. We enjoyed the fish spa, the aquarium,animal show and the different scheduled shows most specially the sea lion and dolphins – We were all like a kid, excited, amazed, happy and overwhelmed. This experience is extremely phenomenal - everything is awesome - the food, the people, the view, the ambiance….nature at it’s finest! This is one of the best resort ever, our awesome team had visited.   

Before saying goodbye, they gave us another blast --- a parting buffet lunch. All the meals I had with “Camayan” were exceptionally outstanding. The dishes are all delicious. Their coolers are all refreshing! Thanks to their passionate Chef.  

Thank you Jaebi Murillo and the head of Camayans Beach Resort for this invitation. We are deeply honored to partner with you in providing an excellent service, Thank you as well to all your very helpful and accommodating staff.

This is one trip I will never forget. On top of the enjoyment, I learned more about nature and its inhabitants, the preservation of the forest, maintaining its natural beauty, the mountains and caring for animals. I learned how can I take part in conserving all these beauty of nature for the next generation to enjoy it too and for Philippine Tourism. 

I would love to have this experience again with my family and I hope you can welcome us again! In behalf of my team United Bloggers Philippines, thank you so much.

The two days and 1 night experience we have had at Camayan will surely be in our memories forever! AAwesome!

The treat you gave us was really “Filipino hospitality” at its finest! Salute to “Camayan” and their entire team!

Chinese New Year Celebration at Crimson Hotel

This is my very first time to join a Chinese New Year celebration at Crimson Hotel in Alabang. Actually I am just supposed to meet a friend to get some gift certificate but Trina introduced me to the Hotels’ Marketing Officer and allowed me to join the celebration. 

Chinese is known to have very rich culture. I usually see ceremonies like this on TV or internet and it feels different seeing it live. It started with their ritual ceremony, and dragon dance. There are three small dragons in soooooo colorful attire and there's one very long that dances so gracefully when the drums started to roll. If Filipinos celebrate New Year with fireworks to clear away bad vibes and welcome new things, Chinese have their dragon dances as part of their tradition welcoming New year .

And then after the ceremony, the celebration continues at the Hotel's Grand Ballroom with their traditional color red motif and readings as they believe 2018 - the year of the Dog. The guest Feng sui reader shared predictions for each year. They also prepared festive dishes that they believe gives good luck. 

They serve a very fresh salad that's so oozing with flavor that lingers my taste buds - this is one of my favorite and also their fried chicken with a sweet sauce and cashews, they have fish, beef, fruits, vegetables everything is flavorful, all deliciously prepared by Crimson Hotels Chef. I must commend their awesome chef serving awesome dishes….

Then after the program you can have your name written in their Chinese Calligraphy, I have to wait in line for an hour to have this souvenir which is so cute to keep. Some have their names and wishes, me, I have my name and “Jesus is my strength” written in Caligraphy. 

Thanks Crimson Hotel for this very unique experience I declare God’s blessings upon you

DITCH CHEMICAL ROMANCE FOR NATURAL LOVE THIS V-DAY WITH NOVUHAIR

Its Valentine’s month once again! A month full of seeking to perfectly express your love in beautiful and fabulous ways. This is because they want to ensure they're the apple of the eye of their special someone come the romantic occasion of the year that they will celebrate together.


So if you find yourself being whisked away to a charming place or have planned on a candle-lit dinner date with your beloved, you’ve got every reason to get all glammed up on Hearts Day! Why not? T’is a celebration of love after all.


Make a big impact by putting together a look that brings out the best in you. From your clothes and make-up to the tiny details that count, you have many options to get that stunning aura on V-Day.


Better start with the hair, which usually draws attention to a person. Per studies, a head full of hair indicates youth and health at its best. Power and stability, on the other hand, corresponds to a long, shiny tress. A bouncy bob means bubbly personality. Meanwhile, curly locks add to masculinity and femininity.


Gotta hair like them? Well, don’t lose hope if you ain’t have any. All you need is love. And what a better way if it comes out naturally in you. Taking good care of it should not be enforced, but rather a rewarding pamper for yourself. This applies, too, when choosing the right product for your mane.


Stay away from chemical-based ones. This is a “must”, especially when dealing with problems like shedding or thinning of the hair. Most of which contain parabens as preservative, according to aesthetics and rejuvenation expert Dr. Cecilia Catapang

“Through the years, as you use chemical-based product, slowly and little by little, your body absorbs the parabens, which accumulate to significant levels, enough to induce what is called an estrogen sensitive breast cancer,” she says.
Synthetic haircare products have several adverse effects because they are drugs. What you don't know about them might hurt you. So avoid it the next time you go over the counter for your supplies or ditch what you’re using today for naturally-made products because they aid in stimulating hair growth while maintaining its natural water, shine and vibrancy.

Amid a glut of chemical-free hair solutions out there, Dr. Catapang recommends NOVUHAIR for its being natural and compliant to the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, which means it doesn’t have paraben. In addition of its safety benefits, this topical scalp lotion specifically is the only hair growth product in the market containing 19 natural herbs, essential oils and co-factor nutrients working synergistically to help remedy hair problems from growth to vanishing.


NOVUHAIR helps rejuvenate, nourish and maintain moisture in the scalp and improve the overall appearance of the tress. Lastly, it’s more effective and safe solution to help remedy hair loss and promote hair growth.


Sounds like it’s time to shift to “nature’s answer to hair loss”, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time to start loving again your hair with NOVUHAIR to enhance or bring back the old “crowning glory” to look your best in front of your dearest, or turning the head of a potential mate on you this V-Day. Let the love begin!
